The Pre-Workout Problem
The Single Most Abused Supplement by Christian Thibaudeau October 23, 2021April 22, 2022 Tags Nutrition & Supplements Pre-workout stimulants are the most poorly-used supplements in the world. I'm not against the occasional use of these products, like when you're testing your max or competing, but be smart about it.

Take the day off, then figure out why you're too pooped to train. The likely causes: Not enough sleep
Improper programming
Not enough rest days
Too much training stress
Not enough food Once you figure out what the problem is, you can fix it. This will not only help you train hard again, but it'll keep things more effective in the future.

It temporarily masks it. The stress from that workout adds to the residual fatigue, making it even harder to recover in time for your next session. It can become a vicious cycle.

Also, stimulants themselves can contribute to systemic fatigue by over-stimulating the beta-adrenergic receptors, which can make them resistant to your own adrenaline. When that happens, your strength, power, endurance, and drive go down the drain.

Never let stimulants become a crutch for poor programming or nutrition. A Better Pre-Workout for Frequent Use Keep the pre-workout stimulant use to a minimal and instead look to nootropics like caffeine-free Brain Candy and Power Drive.

Nootropics don't get you hyper; they get you more focused, more motivated, and in a better mood. This helps with performance, but it doesn't mask fatigue as stimulants do. Get The T Nation Newsletters
